A Clarksville woman was charged with assault after throwing sardines at her sister, knocking over shelves and running away from police.

The woman, 19, got into a fight with her younger sister Tuesday afternoon at a home on Calloway Drive. The older sister got upset that her phone was broken and demanded the younger sister or mother replace it, according to an arrest warrant.

"The defendant opened a can of sardines and dumped them on the floor before picking the sardines up and throwing them at (the sister) striking (her) in the chest area," the warrant said.

She also threw a shoe at her sister, bit her on the head, kicked holes in the walls, tipped over food shelves, and pulled out a box cutter, threatening to "slice and dice" the sister if she didn't get her a new phone.

The woman ran from an officer after she was told to stand in front of a patrol car. She was charged with aggravated domestic assault, domestic assault, vandalism and evading arrest.

Damage to the home was estimated at $300.
